The Third Coming (XL3)

We are all guilty

From the height of his greatness, his majesty the human scrutinizes the sky and the nose in the stars looking for a new planet to welcome him while forgetting again, that a planet is not a disposable consumer good.

From the height of his greatness, his majesty the human decked out with a variable geometry intelligence, rejoices with artificial intelligence, triturates and flirts with DNA, one of the wonders of Life and he comes to take himself for a God.

From the height of his greatness, his majesty the human should open his eyes and contemplate the disaster of what he has done to this planet which is not his own and of the extinction of the many living species of which he is the sole responsible.

From the height of his greatness, his majesty the human contemplates the sun which has entered a known cyclical phase, a warming that no one will stop and certainly not this insignificant human who thinks he would be the main cause.

From the height of his greatness, his majesty the apparently frightened human, knows that life is fragile and above all that it can be completely erased without him being able to do anything about it, even from the height of his greatness and carrying he continues the massacre.

From the height of his greatness, his majesty the human will have to come down from his pedestal built on ruins, he will have to be accountable to greater than him when the time comes, whether he likes it or not.

Nous sommes tous coupables

Du haut de sa grandeur, sa majesté l'humain scrute le ciel et le nez dans les étoiles à la recherche d'une nouvelle planète pour l'accueillir tout en oubliant encore, qu'une planète n'est pas un bien de consommation jetable.

Du haut de sa grandeur, sa majesté l'humain affublé d'une intelligence à géométrie variable, se réjouit de l'intelligence artificielle, triture et flirte avec l'ADN, une des merveilles de la Vie et il en vient à se prendre pour un Dieu.

Du haut de sa grandeur, sa majesté l'humain devrait ouvrir les yeux et contempler le désastre de ce qu'il a fait à cette planète qui n'est pas la sienne et de l'extinction des nombreuses espèces vivantes dont il est l'unique responsable.

Du haut de sa grandeur, sa majesté l'humain contemple le soleil qui est entré dans une phase cyclique connue, un réchauffement que personne n'arrêtera et certainement pas cet humain insignifiant qui pense qu'il en serait la cause principale.

Du haut de sa grandeur, sa majesté l'humain apparemment effrayé, sait que la vie est fragile et surtout qu'elle peut s'effacer complètement sans qu'il puisse rien y faire, même du haut de sa grandeur et portant il continue le massacre.

Du haut de sa grandeur, sa majesté l'humain devra descendre de son piédestal bâti sur des ruines, il devra rendre des comptes à plus grand que lui le moment venu, qu'il le veuille ou non.

Les premières notes de cette chanson me sont arrivées en Mai 2022, juste après avoir composé "Même si tout s'arrête". Peut-être ce qui explique une certaine ressemblance dans la façon de les avoir construites, à savoir des accords de synthés vintage qui servent de support à la mélodie et une thématique parlant d'histoire d'amour. Mais la comparaison s'arrête là car les deux titres ont vraiment chacun un caractère et une identité propres qui les distinguent l'un de l'autre sans hésitation. 
Cette chanson est restée dans les cartons près de 1 an, avant que je n'écrive les paroles en Mai dernier, et que je l'enregistre. Ensuite mon ami Freddie de MTM Production a mis sa "touch" pour re-mixer et masteriser ce titre, en lui redonnant du punch et toute la dynamique nécessaire. Freddie, encore merci pour toute l'expérience et le temps que tu accordes à mes créations. C'est à mes yeux d'une valeur inestimable.
J'espère que vous prendrez plaisir à découvrir ce titre, au moins autant de plaisir que j'ai pu avoir à l'écrire et le réaliser. Comme d'habitude, n'hésitez pas à "liker" et reposter, c'est très apprécié et si important pour Freddie et moi!

The first notes of this song came to me in May 2022, just after composing “Même si tout s'arrête”. Perhaps this explains a certain resemblance in the way they were constructed, namely vintage synth chords which serve as support for the melody and a theme speaking of a love story. But the comparison stops there because the two titles really each have their own character and identity which distinguish them from each other without hesitation.
This song was in the works for almost a year, before I wrote the lyrics last May, and recorded it. Then my friend Freddie from MTM Production put his touch to re-mix and master this title, giving it some punch and all the necessary dynamics. Freddie, thank you again for all the experience and time you give to my creations. In my eyes, it is of inestimable value.
I hope you enjoy discovering this title, at least as much pleasure as I had writing and producing it. As usual, don't hesitate to "like" and repost, it's very appreciated and so important to Freddie and me!

Spleen de toi (Paroles de Richard Gonfrier)

J’viens encore de rêver de toi 
Que tu posais tes mains sur moi
Ma nuit n’a plus d’sens 
J’me réveille comme ça 

Je me retourne mais tu n’es pas là 
Je sais pas bien ce qui ne va pas
Je n’ai pour réponse 
Que des pourquoi

Refrain :
Mais je regarde les avions partir sans toi
Je te cherche dans tous les aéroports 
Je me perds dans le souvenir de ta voix 
Don’t go

Mais quand je regarde le ciel je te revois
Je ne l’ai pas réalisé encore
J’veux revoir ton sourire, j’ai le spleen de toi
Don’t go

J’écris des mots d’amour pour toi
Je crie mes maux que tu n’entends pas
J’me demande si c’est 
pas mieux comme ça 

J’aurais voulu être ton roi
Être ton vice et toi mon versa
Mais le temps qu’j’me lance
Tu es loin déjà 

Refrain :
Mais je regarde les avions partir sans toi
Je te cherche dans tous les aéroports 
Je me perds dans le souvenir de ta voix 
Don’t go

Destination Love.

Since “Particle Guitar” over a year ago, Steve and I have written and performed many new songs together.  And we’ve formed a new band called “Korima” which will soon release its debut EP: “Into Your World”.
 
Along the way, as Korima, we’ve created some short songs.  Not excerpts but, rather, complete pieces to be enjoyed briefly on their own - or as connectors exploring the relationships between songs.
We’d like to showcase some of them here.  This is the first one up: White Sail.  We hope you enjoy it!
 
Korima's songs are written, performed, arranged, engineered, and produced by SuZanne Ledwith (Ireland) and Steve Pumphrey (England).

White Sail

Words I never thought I would have to write.

The great eSyrup, Thom Palumbo has tragically left us.
I am heartbroken. He has been a frequent collaborator and loyal correspondent over the last ten years. When I play guitar, I think of him and whether he would like it. When I write, I imagine his reaction. And now he is gone. He achieved his lifelong ambition of returning to Maine to live over the last few weeks. I was so proud he had done it. I had hoped for more of his time, his music and his humour. An incredible man.

We never met, but we had an uncanny connection. This was done but not finished nearly six years ago, in December 2017. Life and stuff got in the way. Time was our only enemy and sadly a cruel one.

Please listen to his fantastic legacy here and appreciate his beautiful art

This story asked to be retold, https://youtu.be/bvijYSJtkQk

His Mum let him go on a holiday down to the Lowlands.
He went to the shop to buy sweets and soda with friends.
He didn't know the danger.

This song is written as a tribute to the very very brave ones who stood up to testify against evil murderers. Their lives changed forever ~ Wilie Reed, Add Reed, Amanda Bradley, Walter Billingsley, Moses Wright....Witnesses for the Prosecution, and of course Mamie Bradley.
Black lives matter to me ~ in the USA and here in Australia.

The Lowlands ~ lyrics Chris O      music Jonathan Beckenstein   2016

Beware, beware, little golden boy,
Baby I'm fearin' for your life.
Take care our darlin'  boy,
'Cos there's something dark and deadly
Here in the Lowlands tonight.
Ah in the Lowlands tonight
It's brewin' in the Lowlands this night.

Some know well the danger, 
they know the danger
but they can't pull down the blinds
But your Mammy, Willie, and Moses, 
Lord they're gonna' stand as heroes
They'll be our heroes
Heroes for all time.

But beware beware, little golden boy
I'm feelin' for your life
Take care our darlin' only boy
'Cos rank poison's spreading
through the Lowlands
Through the Lowlands, this night.

Here there is no love nor law
No care for fellow man,
But shoots of freedom are gonna spread out
Spread out across the land.
Yeh, the shoots of freedom are gonna'
spread out across this land

So beware beware, little golden boy
I'm feelin' for your life
Beware, beware our darlin' golden boy
Because tonight white evil
haunts the Lowlands.

The Lowlands ~ Chris O & Jonathan Beckenstein

Sunrising Sake Blues.  Hirai & Okunbor 2017. 
Early in the morning
Moon is hanging low.
It's 6 o clock in the morning
City's lost its neon glow.

Running the sidewalk
Stumble in midnight shoes
Got them....I feel them
I'm down with the Sunrise Sake Blues.

I was holed-up half the night
In some ole Habushu bar.
Drinkin until the daylight
Snakey voodoo jars.

Now I'm dizzy on the sidewalk
Sparkling Sake Flu.
Feel them....I got them
I'm down with the Sunrising Sake Blues.

Well the crowd got kinda tricky
When I raised my glass in toast
Cryin "Ikki Ikki! Down it!
Let's see who can drink the most."

"Kanpai!"

Lord it's early in the morning.
City's lost that magic glow.

Trippin' the sidewalk,
Broken midnight shoes
I got them....I feel them,
I'm cut down by the
Sunrise and the Sake Blues.

Sunrising Sake Blues

Sunrising Sake Blues ~ Yutaka Hirai & Chris O

This was written at a time when regular folks were being asked to tighten their belts by the rich politicians, and wait longer and longer to retire. Then along came COVID-19....so maybe when the world recovers the "workin til 100" line may not be an exaggeration.

Grab and Plunder Blues      copyright Okunbor & Phillips 2019

They told us, we could have it all; the money, mansions and the time.
Some good years, we couldn't see the fall; they robbed us blind with a smile.
Moanin', rollin' workin' 'til the drop, tight belt is turning to a noose.
Moanin' the work'll never stop, talkin' bout the grab and plunder blues.
Ooh, I’m talkin’

Steering broken down motors; no way to fund a drivin’ wheel.
Finding the rent is a killer; nothin’ in the kitty for a meal.
Moanin', rollin', workin' 'til the drop, tight belt is turning to a noose.
Moanin' the work'll never stop, talkin' bout the grab and plunder blues.

Ooh, hear me howling.
Aah hear me moaning.

Waiting for the pension ‘til a hundred; payment with a letter from the Queen.
Days of entitlement are over, except for politicians on a scheme.
Moanin', rollin' an workin' 'til the drop, tight belt is turning to a noose.
Moanin', the work'll never stop, I feel I’ve got the grab and plunder blues.

Lord, hear me howling, tight belt turning to a noose.
Oh, hear me moanin’,
Moanin’ bout the grab and plunder blues.

Grab & Plunder Blues ~ Chris O & Fossil60

Cooking up the heat and boogie woogie with John. I had two things on my mind writing these lyrics ~ memories of working in a hotel in London when the chef set up a wooden chopping board at the far end of the kitchen, and expertly threw knives at it from the other end when he got pissed off with somebody ~ and seeing all my SoundCloud friends who also regularly burn their dinners when "just nipping back" to adjust a track they are recording :-D
